ABET program accreditation

Institutional accreditation covers the institution. It does not mean every program is ABET-accredited — ABET accredits individual programs, and we show it only for the program ABET lists.

NSA Centers of Academic Excellence (CAE)

CAE designations are awarded by the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity program (NSA, with CISA and partners) to an institution and its validated program of study. A designation is not accreditation and does not apply automatically to every degree.

This school does not appear in the official NCAE-C directory as of our last check. Many strong programs are not CAE-designated; it is not an eligibility requirement here.

Cybersecurity labs, centers and teams

As described on the school's own pages.

Online student services

Services the university publishes for online students. Availability can depend on program and enrollment status.

Offerings we reviewed but do not list
